Tom Wood photographed working class in Liverpool for many years.  He originally trained as a painter at Leicester Polytechnic from 1973–76.  Although he has been taking photo's for over 40 years he just recently held his first major British show. 

Here is a link to the article that caught my attention.  I found his photo's interesting and thought provoking.

Box Office Flops for 2012

Battleship

After making my own little movie for DTC 355 Multimedia Authoring I have a whole new appreciation for film making.  There were several movies that were considered flops.   With my new perspective I'm sure alot of heart and soul went into them none the less.  I appreciate that.  I did view a few of these "flops" and while I didn't fall in love with them and they will not be memorable to me I will never look at a movie the same again.  This is a good thing.
